Scenario: Students: study with AI (the right way) →

Symptoms

  • Tight budget, no subscription
  • You don’t know which perks students get

Common causes

  • Student perks are scattered across vendor sites and change often
  • Limited-time offers expire

How to fix

  1. Apply for the GitHub Student Developer Pack with your school email and proof of enrolment, then enable free Copilot per GitHub’s docs
  2. Explanations and writing help: free tiers of Doubao, Kimi, DeepSeek, Gemini and ChatGPT
  3. Revision: upload lecture notes to NotebookLM for outlines and quizzes (free)
  4. Unlimited use: run open models locally with Ollama / LM Studio
  5. Ask your school IT or library about institutional AI accounts
  6. Check verification dates on our Free API page; limited-time offers per vendor sites

Notes

  • Student offers change by condition, region and period; the vendor site wins
  • Know your school’s rules on AI in assignments first
